:Journey's End is set in 2009, and SJA S2 is set after Journey's End, which can still mean that Children of Earth is set in 2009. As I said it's just a bad year for Earth. The only way to be definite about this is to prove it with in-universe references. Children of Earth has obviously a few references to it being in 2009. Journey's End occurs in May, so it doesn't stop Children of Earth occurring in September.  (Also please remember to sign your forum posts) --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] 13:03, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
==Evidence for September 2010==
* Remember Aliens of London? The Doc drops off Rose in 2006 instead of 2005 (this is on-screen evidence for the one year ahead strategy, applying to CoE), so as a precedent every present time episode has been set one year ahead of transmission date, plus it is also in chronological order, with Journey's End set in May 2009, SJA at some point between May 2009 and April 2010 when Planet of the Dead is set. So Children of Earth must be set in September 2010, with the newspaper in 2009 being due to a continuity error, probably by someone who makes the props for Torchwood who put a random date on.

Simply, it's set in the summer of 2010.
